Partially hidden in fields of corn and marijuana, Light Armored Vehicles (LAV’s) provide perimeter security for Canadian soldiers patrolling in and around the village of Kolk in the Panjwaii District, approximately 30 kilometers west of Kandahar City as part of Operation MEDUSA.  Op MEDUSA was conducted with an aim to clear insurgent forces from the Panjwaii District.  TF 3-06 BG was the main manoeuvre unit in Op MEDUSA, which also had significant participation from US, Dutch and UK air and ground forces, as well as the Afghan National Army and the Afghan National Police.
